How do you take your coffee? More importantly, what do you drink your coffee out of? When Brandon and I made our wedding registries, we had to make a decision on which coffee cups we wanted to fill our kitchen cabinet with. That was a hard decision – how am I supposed to know what coffee cups I’m still going to want to drink out of in 50 years from now?! So we came up with the decision that we’d try something a little out of the norm. We decided not to have a matching set and instead make an eclectic collection of mis-matched mugs. And so far, I’m loving it!

I’ve spent a lot of time decorating our home this past week – you know, hanging our wedding photos, nitpicking furniture arrangements, melting our blackout curtains in the dryer… the typical home decor to-do list. Since I’m trying not to hang our wedding photos in every nook and cranny, I’ve been incorporating fun inspirational quotes from Etsy. I love buying downloadable art from Etsy because of the fact that it’s instantdownloads gratification (and it’s almost always under $10! whaaaa?!). Seriously. I see an empty wall, search Etsy for five minutes, download my purchase, send it to our photo printer, and voila! Shiny new art on my wall.

We’re in the thick of moving right now. We’re packing up our home in Arkansas and moving to Iowa, less than 10 months after our big move from Minnesota. It’s been a crazy whirlwind and right now, all I can think of is how excited I am to decorate our new home in preparation for backyard grill-outs and weekends spent with family and friends!
